Highlights

  • MQL volume increased 200% from Q4 2015 to Q1 2016 despite a 14% decrease in click spend
  • 71% decrease in cost per MQL
  • 210% increase in conversion rate from click to MQL

The Challenge

An integral part of Rosetta Stone services is providing comprehensive language solutions to K-12 classrooms. Rosetta Stone was looking to increase volume and diversify MQL production within our current paid search campaigns for the Education vertical. Initial roadblocks included:

  • Paid search campaigns were not previously segmented by vertical. Business & K12 campaigns fell under the same umbrella with one budget
  • Education struggled with a very heavy focus towards Branded campaigns. Initial distribution of leads that resulted from Branded efforts was over 80%
  • Consumer paid search ads: consumer ads and searches were providing conflicting results on the SERPs page

The Solution

Campaign Restructure

  • Additional keyword research was performed; previous campaigns were phased out
  • Obility met with product managers for the Education vertical to identify new keyword categories
  • Campaign structure was based on where the prospect was at the in buying cycle
  • Keyword sculpting and the implementation of bid modifiers in several different areas resulted in a large diversification in our conversions.
  • Message Testing: World Language vs. Foreign LanguageRosetta 2015 vs 2016 Lead Results
